Impostor Who Wooed Agents Pleads Guilty

“A man pleaded guilty Monday to charges stemming from a scheme in which prosecutors said he and a co-defendant posed as federal law-enforcement officers and lavished gifts on Secret Service agents, including rent-free apartments and a drone,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Arian Taherzadeh acknowledged he never actually worked as a Department of Homeland Security officer but sought to ingratiate himself with real federal agents to deepen their relationship and promote his private security services.”
